Before you open our best Zinfandel from our oldest vineyard, draw the curtains and clear the room, or invite your worthy friends over to share your good fortune! The pulled cork reveals a nose filled with berries, cola and oak, wrapped in a gossamer of sweet pie spices and spicy candied apple. High-toned red fruit weaves around a core of rich black cherry. With air, the nose swells into soft currant and the first nuances of coffee arrive, with ginseng fluttering nearby. These are aromatics to bathe in! The palate on our big-boned flagship Zinfandel is opulent, ripe black fruit, vanilla and sweet oak; blackberry-chocolate liqueur and pleasing tannins make this a wine to chew and tease at length. The finish is big, bright and long, with spices that tingle and dance on the palate. With air, the tannins soften and become silky as they elegantly fade…Beautiful from top to bottom, this Zinfandel is a sensual explosion!
